Moo @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 4:23 PM

ok so the top is the original, the middle is tweaked a little, and the bottom is a different font entirely

what do you guys think? :3

i gotta get to work now but ill probably check back when i can! i wanna hear everyones opinions uwu <3

edit: o also just to clarify these are still very rough concepts and are not finished products!!

Detective Wolf @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 4:28 PM

god dang it I really like all three :boohoo:

Arf @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 4:56 PM

I like the thickness of the font on the bottom one--but "ekaki" seems more disconnected from the "O". Not sure if that will mess with the readability of Oekaki.

Overall, I think they're all three really great concepts! Brilliantly done<3<3

Moo @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 5:32 PM

ah yes I was thinking that thickening the O would help with that!! I was gonna do that last night but mytablet has been having some major issues lately so I couldn't get it to cooperate lol.. I'll be trying again tonight with that!

it may even be as simple as making the ekaki part the same color as the logo, I'll try thatas well :3

totally not making this comment while at work nopenope lol

Jazzy @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 5:33 PM

These are looking great so far!! They're definitely the best logo concepts so far

I agree the 'O' really needs to be more defined since it kind of looks like a fancy 'W' right now ;w; I think the pen could be a bit more obvious too but that can wait until the text itself is done!

darkvine @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 5:36 PM

i really like the thickness of the bottom one. These are definitely my favorite out of everything we've seen so far

Moo @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 5:56 PM

Playing around more.
Maybe we can make the W into a check mark inside the O?

Man, who picked the name "Weazie" lmao; jayykayy~.

(Uploaded by Junko)

Moo @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 2:27 AM

ah i like these a bit more but i still feel like theyre too sharp I guess?

i do rather like the one on the right but its just still a very sharp look i guess?

I'm probably totally not using the right word here, i just cant think of a better word than "sharp" at the moment lmao

but i hope you know what i mean? xD

Detective Wolf @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 2:35 AM

I think there's a lot of emphasis on 'Weazie' and not enough on 'oekaki'
idk it's probably bc 'weazie' is really big, while 'oekaki' is smaller in comparison??
The one on the right is my fav out of the bunch, probably bc of the placement/overlaying of the W and O, it reads better for me (idk the ones on the left the W&O look like an upisde down man in a turtleneck+jacket?? idk I don't understand what I'm saying anymore sorry)... but I digress I think the oekaki part is too small

darkvine @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 2:35 AM

yea i do like the top right a lot but i'd have to agree it still seems a bit too formal for the oekaki?

Moo @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 4:03 AM

ahhh i think i figured out what i meant

like its not really the SHARP look per se its just that it doesnt flow?

which isnt necessarily a bad thing but i think with what we're looking for we want something loose and fun, but what you have here is a bit tight and straight and sharp and all?

like for real i really do like the one on the right a lot but it just doesnt really fit with what we're looking for

Toasteh @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 1:41 PM

I do like the top right, the spacing between the letters is nice?? but it still feels really formal (reminds me of ummm a magazine or s/t for some reason?) I don't personally mind the emphasis on 'weazie' but yeah idk I'm still more for developing julia or heather's ideas further (leaning towards heather's just bc basing it on an image makes it a little more versatile I think?? idk)

Tree @ Sunday, September 22nd 2013, 6:02 AM

yeah i like the top right too! that kind of layout looks good. but i agree with the others about it looking too formal

PaintBBS

Moo @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 1:42 AM

OK SO I DESIGNED A LITTLE BIT OF A ROUGH LOGO (obviously very rough of course omg ignore the actual rough edges and stuff)

but yeah what do you guys think ? ?

(Uploaded by Moo)

Toasteh @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 1:44 AM

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!!!!!! it'd be so easy to change the colors for every board too omg and even if someone doesn't like the text we can always just do the logo only??? yeah rad ALSO IT'S KAWAII AS HECK

Junko @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 2:07 AM

I love the combination of the W & O plus tablet pen,
but i'm not a fan of whatever font that is.

Also, I feel as if the O should be more prominent so it reads more as an O; "WO"

Moo @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 2:20 AM

whats wrong with the font exactly? idk i feel like it flows nicely with the rest of it and it isnt too sharp or anything

i figure we're looking for a more "fun" approach so making it too sharp or linear or whatever would just make it look too stiff. straight edges are a bit too boring for weazie i think?

idk i just feel the aesthetic is nice and fits the theme we're looking for but i'd like to hear what your opinions on the font are

darkvine @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 2:21 AM

I'm really pumped for this design. I think the WO flows really well for leading into the rest of the words. I like the font a lot, it's fun and really fits the feel of the oekaki

Detective Wolf @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 2:28 AM

omg this is really great
I really like the way the squiggle turns into the O??
and as Julia said I'd be totally ok w/ just the WO part of it bc it's really cool?? dang

Toasteh @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 1:37 PM

junko if the font's a problem then yeah we could always either A. just use the image on its own (change the color for each board, write the full board title in a banner or text box thing and you're good to go?) or B. maybe you could suggest some more appropriate fonts to go with it? you sound like you have more experience with this sort of thing than us lol

Toasteh @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 3:56 PM

ALSOOOOOO just another thought, yeah I'm def not against tweaking the logo if need be? heather I think you mentioned last night wanting to make a vector of it so if/when that happens we could probs just pass the file around and see what we can do

moko @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 4:02 PM

i like this logo the best out of all of them!!
i agree that the O could be a little bit more prominent but
i think the font is totes fine..
it's very friendly??? isn't that what we're kind of going for like a family/friendly environment ..
it reflects our oekakis i guess

Moo @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 5:27 PM

i do agree that the o should be a bit thicker, once i get a chance ill edit this file a bit to make the O thicker and change around the font if anyone else feels the font should be changed :O

but tbh im pretty happy with this font so ? ? ? as long as the majority of everyone else is happy with it too then im ok with keeping it as is

ALSO YEAH i'll see if i can get to the college's library computers at some point this week to work on a vector (if not ill jut try to see if i can get an illustrator trial on this laptop) :OO id like to be able to get a final design for it before i vector it though..? i could always just make a really high res version of it in photoshop and/or sai instead of illustrator too tbh. wouldnt be too hard i dont think?

just cause i cant imagine us needing it to be any sort of huge ridiculous size lmao. but still i have no problem making a vector of it if thats what all you guys want!! :3

Toasteh @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 5:54 PM

oh yeah I'm p sure photoshop's pen tool does vector lines so that should work if nothing else? you could always just save it as a .psd and maybe pass that around if anyone wants to make any changes to it etc

BUT YEAH I def agree that this could use some work but it's a step in the right direction imo? so if anyone wants to take it upon themselves to develop any of these concepts further I think this one would probs be the one we should be focusing on

Moo @ Saturday, September 21st 2013, 6:12 PM

AHH yeah i looked into ps having a vector thing but i didnt really? think it looked like a vector? so ill just have to look up how to do that lol i tried the pen tool but it didnt look very vectory so i was just like o....

but yeah ill def look into that a bit more haha

Laurz @ Sunday, September 22nd 2013, 2:05 PM

yes!<3

Junko @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 10:55 AM

I agree with taking this concept further.

& for fonts, honestly, I would have to play around with them in illustrator.

IM SORRY IM SO BORING~ haha.

like I said tho, CLEAN CLEAN!

I NEED to be happy with it too because I do link my sites to this oekaki.

I think this one is by far the best concept so far though

Moo @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 2:28 PM

Junko I have a question for you!

if the majority of the oekaki likes a concept that you end up not caring too much for, will we still be able to use it?

Moo @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 2:34 PM

another question I must ask is this and I'm sorry if it comes across as rude but you must understand that you were absent for an incredibly long amount of time:

why exactly are you linking this oekaki on your sites when you abandoned the oekaki for like 4 years and had us take care of it in your absence?

darkvine @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 2:38 PM

i'd have to agree with moo, although I haven't exactly been active here either, most of us have still been somewhat updated with the oekaki and how things are going and we heard nothing from you for a very, very long time, so we're all just a little confused right now.

Toasteh @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 4:17 PM

to be honest I'm not sure if linking to an oekaki board full of drawings of green anime homos and sparkledogs would be a very good idea in the first place :lol:

I want us to work together as a community to design our look. This is OUR community! Please consider sharing your opinion.

Detective Wolf @ Tuesday, September 17th 2013, 1:54 AM

I think these are a really good starting point??
idk I messed around for a bit in photoshop to work off of this format and this is what I got (http://i.imgur.com/1cqGRUu.png)

I think the originals are def a good introduction, which is good so we can build on it?? Idk but I went from like... more ""business"" to a more ""fun"" look as I went through... I tried a bunch of fonts too but I'm not sure what kind of "feel" we're going for so I tried to include a sorta range for us to kinda decide?? I hope these aren't too lame gomen I'm not one of them fancy typographists lol
I also tried to include the colors we picked out for the themes too idk we need some color in our lives...
idk this is just some of my ideas sorry :lol:

Arf @ Tuesday, September 17th 2013, 9:21 AM

DW- I really like the added the color! My two favorite options of your is the purple/pink WOA and the bottom left Weazie Spam(I love the positive/negative space gahhh<3) You actually made serifs look fun--props to you.

Jazzy @ Tuesday, September 17th 2013, 10:41 AM

I don't think these really suit...weazie's atmosphere I guess? I've always thought this place was really laid back and friendly but these logos are too 'professional' looking, especially with no colour and such a neutral font!

I agree with Arf, I really like the pink/purple logo Julia did! I like the two blue ones at the very top right too. These definitely fit weazie a lot better imo!

Jazzy @ Tuesday, September 17th 2013, 12:37 PM

By the way, I was in touch with Matt for a while over his new oekaki host, and there was some problem with it he had to fix, but I haven't heard from him since? Do you know if there's been any progress?

Laurz @ Tuesday, September 17th 2013, 3:26 PM

Absolutely love the color ideas there DW

all of them....

Tree @ Tuesday, September 17th 2013, 5:37 PM

yeah i agree w/ the others, weazie is super colloquial and these seem a little too formal?? colour is definitely a must i think....

Junko @ Tuesday, September 17th 2013, 10:01 PM

>We need a solid logo before color you guys! Color can only ENHANCE a well developed logo.

I definitely agree with the more "fun" feel though;
I went through so many fonts... Baskerville is always just a favorite

.

@Detective Wolf - these are great! The one on the far right is BY FAR my favorite (the WO in 2 different greens). What font is it? I'm going to play around with this idea. I'm not a fan of any free fonts or 'too' fun of fonts.

& THANK YOU for contributing! The more the merrier everyone! Keep this ideas coming so we can put some wheels on this reface~.

Matt @ Wednesday, September 18th 2013, 12:36 AM

@Detective Wolf - Sorry, however I haven't had as much time as I wished to work on the project.

I discovered a few security holes in the oekaki hosting site that would lead it vulnerable to attacks. These all have to be addressed before I can launch. At this time there is no estimate on when I can patch the site.

This is unrelated to the original post, so if you have further questions/comments please feel free to PM me or contact me via my e-mail, which I believe you have.

Moo @ Friday, September 20th 2013, 5:18 AM

oh gosh i kinda thought we established we were gonna keep all the updating talk to the intermediate board but whoops ok lol

anyway I do agree with what everyone else has said in that these are very formal looking and not really fitting for the overall mood of the oekaki? We're not a strictly professional oekaki, we wanna give off the vibe that we're fun n flirty wink wonk (minus the flirty probably? maybe?)

But yeah I also really love the pink/purple and bottom left design from julia!!!

Also a quick question; were you really busy over the summer? I'm just wondering really just cause you mentioned doing these like three months ago I kind of thought you forgot about it lol.... Glad to see you didn't forget though!

Moo @ Friday, September 20th 2013, 5:23 AM

also lets not forget it is very much possible to just do hand drawn logos as well! doesnt have to be ALL font :3 I mean we're not gonna be using the logo for anything other than plastering it onto the oekaki itself, like we're not gonna be doing much in the way of getting it printed or put anywhere else, so a neat and tidy hand drawn logo could work just as well?

darkvine @ Friday, September 20th 2013, 2:34 PM

super quick two cents. I agree it's too formal, not quite enough color for the lax/fun nature of the oekaki and text would be nice with a hand drawn bit? those just seem to feel better for an oekaki

Toasteh @ Friday, September 20th 2013, 2:41 PM

yeah I'm kinda w/ everyone that these don't really suit weazie that much? I always think serif fonts look really formal while we're uh...really....not........and the lack of variation kinda gives off that vibe too? I realize we're not some business but you gotta be aware of the image you're projecting you know effective marketing and all that shit. I don't mind the lack of color as much bc yeah like you said, the basics gotta come first (and I assume they'd change to match w/e board they went with right? so color isn't rly needed at this point lol)

julia's on the right track I think!! ummmm out of julia's I'm kinda partial to the font/layouts of those blue/green ones at the top right, I like the purple/pink one but I'm not sure if I like the font itself? the thickness of the letters is almost a little confusing to read to me idk sdgfdsg but the placement works for me I think, though yeah definitely more partial to those blue/green ones, if junko or anyone else wants to develop any of these ideas further I think those would be the ones I'd go with?

also I like the idea of a hand made font tbh, like?? if someone made a font of their handwriting that might look nice?? also gomen if this is just parroting everyone else sdfdsgdsg BUT YEAH THERE U GO

Detective Wolf @ Friday, September 20th 2013, 5:33 PM

I agree w/ the hand drawn logos/fonts?? idk I think mainly because a hand drawn one is like, a sure fire way to avoid that "super formal business card" look that just... does not belong in an oekaki...
